How to Get Started

Step 1 Set Up a Global Payments Merchant Account

To apply for a Global Payments merchant account, visit the Online Application. You will need your bank account and routing number to complete the application. Upon approval, you will receive a welcome email with a 5 digit activation code.

When you accept a card payment from a customer, you’re responsible for the safety and security of their card details. You have to know that everything’s being done right as you’ll have to demonstrate compliance to several strict criteria.

Step 2 Download and Install the Mobile Pay App

Download the app from the link included in your welcome email or using the following links. For Android™ smartphones and tablets, download the app at https://globalmpos.com/android. For Apple® smartphones and tablets, download the app at http://globalmpos.com/ios. You may also search for ‘Mobile Pay by Global Payments’ in the App Store® or Google Play™ and download the app.

Step 3 Activate Account

Open the Mobile Pay app and click ‘Activate Account.’ Here you will enter the 5 digit activation code you received via email and follow the prompts to set up your password and security questions.

Step 4 Pair the Reader

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device, and press the power button to turn on the card reader.

Open the app and login using your credentials.

For iOS: Select More from the bottom menu.
For Anddroid: Select the menu icon in the top left.

Select Settings.

Select Card Reader.

Under Bluetooth Readers, select the serial number associated with your card reader. (The serial number can be found on the back of your reader.)

The green LED on the reader will turn on when pairing is complete.

Step 5 Accept Payments

Swipe or insert the card when prompted by the Mobile Pay app.

**For EMV® transactions, leave the card in the reader until the payment application prompts you to remove the card.
